Egg cells missing a key protein may be more likely to end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, but an mRNA injection that ...

Psychiatric disorders can share common genetic influences, which means parts of DNA can be at the root of more than one mental condition, new research has found. The study, led by researchers at Texas ...

A major genetic study has uncovered a surprisingly common recessive cause of neurodevelopmental disorder, revealing how hidden changes in a small RNA gene can disrupt brain development and open new ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

The vast dataset allowed the Johns Hopkins University-led team to demonstrate robust connections between specific variations in a mother's DNA and their risk of miscarriage. The findings shed new ...

A newly identified recessive neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) linked to variants in the RNU2-2 gene may be among the most common genetic causes of intellectual disability and epilepsy, new research ...
